Numbers 20:16-18
Living Bible
16 But when we cried to the Lord he heard us and sent an Angel who brought us out of Egypt, and now we are here at Kadesh, encamped on the borders of your land. 17 Please let us pass through your country. We will be careful not to go through your planted fields, nor through your vineyards; we won’t even drink water from your wells, but will stay on the main road and not leave it until we have crossed your border on the other side.”
18 But the king of Edom said, “Stay out! If you attempt to enter my land, I will meet you with an army!”

“Now we are here at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory.(D) 17 Please let us pass through your country. We will not go through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well.

“You may not pass through here; if you try, we will march out and attack you with the sword.(G)”
